I have a set of rear pagid rs-n pads.
Anyone know how to install the top spring onto the shoe?
This is the first set of pads I have seen with the spring not installed and I am at a loss.
many thanks in advance for any assistance.

-- figured it out (press down to compress wound section of spring)!

Is the RS-N rear pad a rear equivalent to the RS-L front endurance pad released last year? Paging PeteInCT!!

The RSL pads are endurance pads but I have no info on an "RSN" pad and there is nothing on the corporate web site either. Are you sure you have the right pad acronym ?

You got it Lee. FYI - you don't need the spring.

Pete,
I'll post a pic of the box end.
Maybe you can decipher it.
Hope you are having a good 2014 season!
Thanks.
Lee.

I answered this already. Is it in 2 threads?

That's an RS pad. The 56 is a derivative of the 44 made for our RWD hi HP cars. The RSL is an endurance like the RS-29 but with more bite.
